Topic: v2.6 Seek to end of TS H.264 failure (Read 15314 times)

The VBR muxing means :* If not set and you use a mux rate of 10 MBs, padding will be added so that the bitrate will stay at around 10 MBs* If set, it can do much lower as it depends only on the used bitrate, no padding

You are reminding me of long forgotten Mpeg2 capture days of hearing about muxing rates. Do I gather that we would normally use VBR muxing to save space, but create a fixed muxing rate in cases where the overall bitrate needed to be relatively constant?? And if so, I could create a VBR mux rate file now, then if I ever needed a CBR one, I could create it from this VBR one?

The MP4 are sort of funnyIt seems to contain only one I at the beginning, and maybe PTS/DTS are borked (not 100% sure yet)

Sort of funny? I'm certainly finding that so, at least in this context of the Colossus. I can capture only what my DVR puts out. It has HD, which is 1920x1080i, dd-5.1ch or SD, 720x480i, ac-3.2-ch. (Last week I was accepting solely analog audio, but Sunday I bought an optical cable, and the dd-5.1 audio that now comes out from the DVR is ASTOUNDING.) Last week after I got the card and was capping MP4-only, I found through your prog. that while the HDs were giving a nice blend of I, P frames (no B), the SDs were freaking me out by having a sole I-frame at the start and all the rest were P and B frames, no matter how long the show was! I was planning soon to call Hauppauge about it. Figured there's some error somewhere. Maybe they can give a registry patch or updated something. Gotta have occasional I-frames.

All non esssential headers are discarded and recreated depending on the output formatI'll see if libavformat supports TS-2 like format

But if one is doing "copy" "copy", shouldn't it clone the headers too? When I processed Jan's file (the one he gave above), it cloned the header. (Maybe it wasn't but seemed so. It was a TS, whereas mine is an M2TS.) Let me know what you find and what you do. (I'm trying to make decisions and plans.) Thanks.
